You should always be prepared to alter your route depending on circumstances – do you have a backup plan?

If driving in an area with potential hazards, pedestrians, or cyclists for example, you may need to check the mirrors and blind spot once again before committing to the manoeuvre. – do you ever do this?

Are you prepared to alter your speed or destination even at the very last moment?

Are you aware of Cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles which can be unpredictable?

We have all experianced our own journey, for me i have

Felt like at times I was a passenger?

Had times, out of fear I preferred to walk to my destination?

I had a particular destination in mind, but couldn’t seem to find it?

I found my destination and it wasn’t what I thought it would look like?

Some of my journeys have taken me down some down dead-end roads.

I have had to figure out or how many three-point turn’s, or twenty? Are required to turn my car around and start again?

I have hit many roundabouts, going around and around not sure which exit to take?

I’ve gone down streets only to find that they are one way?

I didn’t have a map or the resources to get me to my destination

I was once disqualified, unfit to drive (because of my mental health)

#Havingawordwimesen is as much about

Having a safe space to park up and explore my journey to date, reflect on the miles I have traveled, Explore, or share some of the missed turnings or wrong turnings, but more importantly – LEARN from them.

When was the last time you refreshed your Highway Code?
